Re: [slim] iTunes on Windows SlimServer on Linux
Is there a reason that you want SlimServer to read the iTunes xml file ? If you are just using iTunes for ripping and organizing tags it sounds like it would work to just specify the Music Folder in SlimServer to detect the music. No need for SlimServer to read the iTunes xml file in this senario. But maybe you are using iTunes for something else that requires the iTunes xml file information ? -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32321 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Multiple instances of album titles
I'm afraid I don't use Itunes or Itunes integration, so I'm not sure what further help I can offer. It sounds like the structure of your library should work fine. A basic suggestion would be to open up the files for the complete album in an entirely different tagging program - Media Rage is the only one I know works well for Mac, but there must be others. Have a look at the album tags - in particular is there anything different about the offending files ? You don't say what format your files are in AAC ? MP3 ? but things to look out for would be different ALBUMSORT tags from ALBUM tags, or different ID3v1 tags vs ID3v2 (assuming MP3s). If all else fails, force the ALBUM tag by resaving the album field for all files and then do a full clear and rescan. Does that sort you out ?

[slim] Lost Album Art

Re: [slim] SlimServer on XBOX ?
Ive just turned my xbox into a server and it really isnt as hard as all that. If you want to just use an xbox as a storage box (and maybe some other server-ish jobs), its as easy as peeing into a well. The softmod method is full of holes to fall into, and changes for each version of the xbox you may have (1.0 to 1.6) - installing a modchip involves taking apart the xbox, but this really is not that hard. You can also get adapters that save you from having to solder anything - definitely recommended! If you want to still use it as a games console or use Xbox media centre and the things that involve cracked bioses, it can be a bit more difficult. Howtos for this are riddled with mistakes, and irc channels to get help are full of pimply faced youths with serious emotional problems. Saying that though, there are still people willing to help. I decided to keep the old modded xbox/games machine as is, and get another xbox to use as a computer to save on power and noise - now both the squeezebox and the computers can use the new xbox as storage.

Re: [slim] Album by (A Thousand Artists)
If I navigate to No Album, any given song will be by ALL artists with no album. This isn't a very intelligent side-effect. SlimServer should either treat No Album tracks differently (your database query shouldn't be having 'WHERE ALBUM = ', which I suspect it does in this case, and then picks up artists for all tracks that don't have ALBUM set to anything; but should treat that as a special case), or it should be an option with the Show Artist with Albums... a checkbox for Except for tracks with No Album, to accomplish the same thing. Just a suggestion, as it IS a common case to have many tracks with no album info, yet you still want to see individual tracks shown with their actual ARTIST tags. - Tim -- tbessie tbessie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8521 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32108 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Slim splits CD into 2 or more Albums
I'm resurrecting this old post because I've got the same problem with Slimserver splitting certain albums into two or more. I am using SS 6.5.1 from 17/01/07. Most of the albums in question are those which I've ripped on two different occasions (e.g. having first used iTunes to rip, I later replaced certain tracks which skipped with EAC rips. (It's OK, I now know that iTunes ripping is inferior!)) In some cases, the album therefore comprises some MP3s, and some AAC/MP4s. But should this really matter? So, there are reasons why SS might split them, but the tag variables which I would expect to matter (i.e. Artist and Album) are consistent - I checked this with mp3tag. All the directory trees are correct, with no splits across Windows directories. My question is, in order to prevent this problem, do I really have to have completely consistent tags across all tracks within an album, and consistent file formats too? Other programs I use like MusicIP and iTunes don't spilt albums like this. Incidentally, I use MusicIP with SS, and run Windows XP Pro. To prevent any conflicts or duplication, I leave the music directory blank, and although I use iTunes for other purposes, within SS I've selected 'do not use iTunes'. -- neilcoburn neilcoburn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=653 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26186 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] FLAC to MP3 player on the fly -- no sound
I have my music library FLAC encoded on a Win2k PC and want to be able to access it remotely using an MP3 player like WinAmp or Windows Media Player. I can remotely connect to SlimServer using a browser via port 9000, and I can see the MP3 player listed as a player device, however I can't hear anything. The player shows it is connected to SlimServer (http://hostIP:9000/stream.mp3) and even pauses to buffer before starting to play, but there's no sound. I have installed LAME into the \Slimserver\server\bin directory and SlimServer reports LAME is installed correctly. I have tried various settings for bitrate limiting and audio quality with no success. I have tried two different players with the same results on each, and have tried accessing it from two different remote PCs. If I had to guess I'd say the problem was either getting LAME to translate on the fly, or that the player needs another firewall port (in addition to 9000) open for the stream.

Re: [slim] play interruption
Yes, a 2-hop wireless arrangement doesn't work for everybody. Could you not temporarily wire up the pre-n router to the server with a long patch cable? Or move the pre-n router close enough to be wired, just for tests (even if this involves unplugging the pre-n from your Internet connection)? It'll be ugly, but it'll only be temporary - if the issues go away then you can unplug the cable and buy a g router.

Re: [slim] Logitech to acquire Slim Devices!
Hi guys, I read all of the stuff you wrote on these pages, and all I can say is ''Time will see''. The big company that acquires the small one doesn't necessary mean a drop of quality; Logitech surely has a lot of resources to spend in this project, and Slimdevices has a killer application to sell. I'm very interested in this situation, cause I'd like to buy the Transporter, which is available only if imported (a lot of useless costs, specially in Italy), but there's no official distribution outside the U.S. Logitech is obviously a new entry in this sector, it sells music-related products but nothing like the Squeezebox, not to mention the Transporter. But it owns good satellite companies that produce high quality material, and it means a lot. Just look at the brand 3dConnexion, with its pointing devices: I have the small SpaceTraveller, and it's absolutely a rock (even the box that comes with it is perfect). Well, a few years ago this gadget cost 600 $, US only, today the same article costs 200 $ worldwide available, no quality loss (it's still a piece of metal with the jog wheel upon it). So if Logitech wants to mantain this price/quality balance they only have to open the market, assisting SD for sells and perhaps adding a good remote in the box. I don't mention the software cause I'dont know it yet, but the opensource community did a great job improoving it first, so tomorrow they could have to develop a lot more, maybe supported by a Logitech team. -- bobore bobore's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9969 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

However, SlimServer does not start and I am getting the following error: Localhost is not set up to establish a conneciton on port 9000 with this computer. -- fingers fingers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5570 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Converting to Apple Lossless
thesil;175777 Wrote: I am a mac person as well and I am supported by iTunes. In that case, what should I be ripping new tunes as? Two good choices: Apple Lossless or .aiff. Squeezeboxes don't seem to enjoy the former much: no ff or rew function, and it has to be transcoded on the fly to something they can read natively. However, it takes up no more space than FLAC (which has no such problems, but which iTunes and iPod can't play at all.). Aiff, on the other hand, takes up about twice as much space as ALAC, but otherwise handles better because Squeezebox can read it natively. It does not need to be transcoded. FF and REW work, and there's much less burden on the server because there's no transcoding being done (so less likelihood of dropouts if you're using a slow old box like mine to run Slimserver). If you run the SB on a wireless network using Airport Extreme you may find that you get drop outs using Aiff if your house is nasty to it, in which case try setting up an Airport Express as a wireless/ethernet bridge (ie the AE receives the signal but transfers it to the Squeezebox via ethernet cable). I use this setup, with aiff, and it runs extremely well (but you need lots of disc space - ie 600Mb or so on average per CD).

Re: [slim] iTunes on Windows SlimServer on Linux
I had the same problem. There is some data and metadata in the XML that is not available elsewhere. Unfortunately, you cannot change the location of the xml file on your Windows box. You can, however, share a Linux directory with Windows, and copy the xml file to this location after you've made changes in iTunes. This works well for me. You will just need to make sure the ITUNES MUSIC LIBRARY.XML LOCATION option in the iTunes server settings is set to the path to this shared location (as Linux sees it). jst1;176369 Wrote: SlimServer on Linux box; iTunes on Windows with iTunes folder (via samba) the same directory as SlimServer Music Folder (/srv/music).

Can I change the location of this file so that my slimserver on linux can read it? Can the xml file be located anywhere else?

Hi again Ron! I noticed something strange that I don't really understand. I tried to change the port values and realized I couldn't change the port in Music IP to 10002. The program said I needed to try another port. Using services.mcs I then looked at the MusicIP service and stopped that. Then I could change the port number in the program to 10002, and also then restarting the service in service.mcs worked fine. So it seemed that when I reboot windows I have one service atrributed to MusicIP running on port 10002 and then when I start the actual MusicIp GUI program then that runs a service at anoter port, I had it set to 10040 for example. Then if I follow the link http://localhost:10002 I get to a MusicIP page where I can see the number of songs and such, but when I go to the http://localhost:10040 page then I get to a page that just say Active service API (where API is a link) . so not sure what is going on with this.

Zevs Zevs, it seems to me from your last long post that you may have two versions of MusicIP running as a service - one headless and one with the GUI. Couple of suggestions if you can bear it ? Change your Slimserver MusicMagic port setting to whichever port you want the headless version to use. Save the change. Stop Slimserver (right click the Slimserver Icon and select stop Slimserver). Go into the Slimserver folder and delete the Cache file entirely. Open up the user interface for MusicIP (not the headless webpage, double click the MIP icon). *Stop* the communication API in the user interface (File, Preferences, Services), click stop and make sure the API checkbox is unchecked. Open a command window (Start, Run, cmd) and type [net stop MusicIP Server] [deleting the square brackets] Open up the mmm.ini file in the MusicIP folder using a text editor. What does the line port= say ? Change it to whichever port you want MusicIP headless to use (same as the one you gave to Slimserver, save file, close. Open a command window (Start, Run, cmd) and type [net start MusicIP Server] [deleting the square brackets] Check you can access the API at http://localhost:10002/ Right click the Slimserver icon, start Slimserver. When it opens up, you should see it starting a completely fresh scan. It will only add the MM icons at the end of the scan, so you'll have to wait until it builds the Slimserver database first.

Re: [slim] How would you like to select which music to play ?
I think everyone agrees that music is all about emotion. Music creates emotions and sometimes you want to strengthen your current emotion through music. In all kinds of theories about emotion, including the ancient chinese ones, there are 7 emotions: Sadness, Anger, Surprise, Contempt, Enjoyment, Disgust, Fear Why not think of a way to be able to select music on the (combination of the) rating of one or more base emotions? I could imagine a circle with all emotions on them and per emotion a rating from 0(no emotion)-3(high). Like in Excel, you could then create something like a radar-graph (spiderweb) which represents the emotion area. Also notice that a rating system always should have an even number of choices, so it makes it harder to go for the easy middle way.. When you want to select music, you just select the ratings for emotion the emotions you want to have your selection stay within. If you set the anger emotion to 0, no song will be played which will make you angry. If you set Enjoyment to 3, all songs with 3,2,1 ratings are in the filter, but songs with 3 will be played first, or last, depending you want to strengthen of diminish you mood. The lower the rate, the more relaxed you are, with the ultimate relaxedness: all zeros:no emotion, no heartbeat..;-) You could point out your current emotion(s) and desired emotion(s). The music mix will slowly bring yo there! Wouldn't that be magnificent?? I know it'll be a lot of work to mark all songs, and all marks are personal. Perhaps storing the emotion-ratings in different fields. On the squeezebox, rate the song by using the cursors to set the spot or area of all rated emotions. -- Eelcovb Eelcovb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid= View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32202 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Batteries and Beer Hang my SqueezeBox
I've had some Squeezebox reboots when listening to Internet Radio, too.

In my case, for instance, my SB2 crashed/rebooted the other day (on FolkAlley.com) but I believe Slimserver kept running properly updating the When Off screensaver on the SB3 in the next room. I certainly didn't have to restart Slimserver. I suspect it's a SB/firmware problem -- don't SB2/SB3 devices connect directly to HTTP streaming stations? I've suspected it's a bug in the TCP stack of the SB. Would installing something like Squid on my Slimserver and configuring Slimserver with that as a proxy force my SB to fetch streams through the Slimserver host? It'd be a (relatively) huge waste of bandwidth (especially in my case, as my Slimserver host hangs off a WiFi bridge), but I have more confidence in my local network's packets, and my Slimserver host's ability to deal with Internet flakiness.

Re: [slim] low volume
While the music is playing, point the remote that came with the Squeezebox at the Squeezebox and hold down the button at the very top of the remote, in the middle, with an up arrow on it. Hold it down for several seconds. Does that help?

Re: [slim] SlimServer and VISTA
The Slimtray application runs under the account of the logged in user. However, the slimserver service is set to run under the system account. Unfortunately, under Vista, normal users are not allowed to start services. Try yourself by opening a command prompt and type 'net start slimserver' and you will be met with 'Access denied'. There might be a setting under Local Security Policies but I haven't found it. If you open up the services snap-in (Click Run... and type services.msc) you can start it there. That solved it for me and after that the web page works fine. Another alternative could be to change the slimserver service to run under your own account. I haven't tested that though. What is the purpose of the tray application BTW? Why not remove it from the startup folder and change the service settings so that Slimserver starts with Windows? The only thing that really works for me under Vista is the shortcut at the top to the web page but that can be done with a standard shortcut anyway. -- bergek Transporter - Squeezebox 3 - Serener GS-L02 - Via EPIA SP8000 - Ubuntu 6.06 Server bergek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SlimServer and VISTA
It is getting even more amazing to me that it appears that Slim folks have not tested any of this on VISTA. I contacted support this even and have been waiting to hear back as support admitted they have no VISTA machine to troubleshoot on after attemtping everything they could think of based on having no VISTA machine to troubleshoot on said they needed to consult others and would get back to me.

Re: [slim] Update to v6.5.1 creates problems
Reverting to v6.5.0 leaves me with 0 albums with 0 songs by 0 artists instead of the aforementioned (and false) 1/1/1, which obviously is no better. I'm getting closer and closer to formatting the computer and starting over, but before I do that I'm going to go ahead and continue reverting back Slimserver with each version I can find just in case one works. Does anyone happen to know where all of the registry entries made by Slimserver can be found so that I can clear them out as well in case there's any problem there? -- smoj smoj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9848 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32058 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks Siduhe for the detailed and clear instructions!! I went through them and SS is now rescanning the library. The only thing that surpised me a bit was that the icon for SS disappeared from the tray as soon as the scan started. It is for sure scanning though!

I guess it's no accident I've been buying only used vinyl lately or working a little harder to find music I can buy in my preferred format (non-DRM FLAC). Unfortunately, I think we are in too big a minority to make any difference. I see iPods everywhere and most of the users seem completely unaware that in a few years (or less) they will have difficulty playing their purchased music on anything. When I mention that they are only *renting* their music they don't quite understand the concept.
